President Buhari receives his Media Team in London

Buhari, who spoke 96 days after he commenced the latest round of his medical vacation overseas, yesterday, was quoted as saying: "I have learnt to obey my doctors' orders rather than being the one issuing the orders".

President Buhari left the shores of the country since May 7th to London on Medical Vacation.

"I feel I could go home, but the doctors are in charge", Buhari said, according to Saturday's statement, adding that there has been a "tremendous improvement" in his health.

Yet Buhari's appointment of Osinbajo, a southern Christian, as acting president did help allay fears of the intense political infighting of 2010 after then-president Umaru Yar'Adua fell ill and failed to nominate someone to run the country.

The aides are Femi Adesina, senior special adivser on media and publicity, Lai Mohammed, minister of information; Garba Shehu, senior special assistant on media and publicity; Lauretta Onochie, personal assistant on digital/online media and Abike Dabiri-Erewa, senior special assistant on diaspora matters. "Here, the doctor is absolutely in charge" the statement quoted him as saying.

Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, who has been in London for treatment of an undisclosed illness for more than three months, has assured a government delegation that he is doing fine. "I've now learnt to obey orders, rather than be obeyed".
